A patient complains of tingling and numbness in his right leg following application of a long leg cast. The
patient's discomfort is most likely the result of:
A. Reduced venous return
B. Bone healing
C. Arterial insufficiency
D. Nerve compression - ansRationale: Answer D is correct. Numbness and tingling in a n extremity

C. Seconal 50mg HS PRN sleep

Darvon is an analgesic, so they can all be given, making answers A,B, and D wrong.
